Abstract
A processing system for use in a vehicle comprises numerous simple processors, numerous parallel processors, an interface for connecting to a communication bus in the vehicle, and a monitoring device that is connected to the interface and each of the processors. The monitoring device is designed for redundant configuration of the simple processors and/or the parallel processors in relation to one another.
Claims18
A processing system for use in a vehicle, wherein the processing system comprises:
- a plurality of simple processors;
- a plurality of parallel processors;
- an interface configured to connect to a communication bus in the vehicle;
- and
- a monitoring device connected to the interface and each of the plurality of simple processors and the plurality of parallel processors, wherein the monitoring device is configured to redundantly configure the plurality of simple processors and/or the plurality of parallel processors in relation to one another,
- wherein each parallel processor of the plurality of parallel processors is a dedicated graphics processor, an FPGA, or a neural network,
- wherein each parallel processor is connected to every other parallel processor by a dedicated line, and
- wherein the monitoring device is connected to each simple processor and each parallel processor by a monitoring bus, wherein point-to-point connections are used to connect the monitoring device to each simple processor and each parallel processor.
